    There are a lot of antique and "junque" shops where I live. I once saw a highly ornate Deruta pitcher in a shop. It should have sold for at least $200 (I'm a fan of Deruta). This pitcher was priced at $25. I couldn't believe it. I snapped it up and resolved to go back to the shop soon. When I returned a month later, the shop had gone out of business -- no surprise there.

    Parakeet! You lucky bird! I absolutely love majolica! Did you know that Deruta has a Watchtower on their heraldry crest?

    Gregor, money has boogers galore. Nasty stuff, that. Handle it with gloves on.

    Maybe the stuff is selling for cheap, because it is demon possessed(LOL)!

    No, I didn't, but I won't hold it against them.

    We were at the used book store today and found a "New World Translation" on sale for €8! I told Switch that I found a good bargain and showed it to her. She gave me the two thumbs down and raspberries.

    €8 is a bit much for a used free book of this "quality".
